The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975. Why do so many climbers risk their lives ? One of the main reasons is because people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties . The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams . It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.

Scanning This means moving your eyes quickly down the page to find specific information. 2b Reading Tips 阅读时，可根据阅读任务的不同，综合运用 略读 (skimming) 与 扫读 (scanning) 。提高快速阅读水平。 Skimming and scanning are two fast reading skills to help to browse text and extract the key points. The skills require practice, but once you have got the hang of them you’ll find you can get through a substantial amount of reading in quite a short time. These reading methods make it easier for you to grasp large amounts of materials , especially when you're previewing. They are also useful when you don't need to know every word. 略读 (skimming) 只看文章标题、下标题以及每个部分或者段落第一行，关注文章中反复出现的关键词。 略读时，要用充足的时间读懂段落的第一句和第二句，因为第一句往往是该段的主题句 (topic sentence) ，而第二句往往是对前句的延伸 (extension) 或进一步的解释 (explanation) 。 通过略读把握文章大意 运用扫读 (scanning) 迅速浏览从第三句开始 的后面部分，搜寻作者对开头两句的支持句 (supporting sentences) ，并同时注意文章中间是否有转折词 (transition) ，因为这些词常常会把文章的思路逆转或加入其它重要的信息。 当读到段落的最后一句时，我们又要使用略读， 这时必须再次放慢速度 (slow down your pace) 直到完全消化作者对段落的小结 (conclusion) ，因为该小结有可能与主题句截然相反或引导读者进入下一个段落。 通过扫读寻找特定信息或特定词组 titles and headings the first and last sentences of paragraphs the first and last paragraphs pictures and charts Scan the text for key words and phrases, dates, etc. Do not need to read the whole text. It is 8:30 a.m. at the Chengdu Research Base. Panda keepers are preparing milk for the baby pandas’ breakfast. At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry. When the babies see the keepers, they run over to them with excitement and some of the young pandas even walk into their friends and fall over ! Lin Wei, one of the panda keepers, says, “They’re so cute and lovely. I take care of them like they’re my own babies. I wash, feed and play with them every day. They’re very special to me.” In fact, many people around the world love these black and white animals. Pandas have become so popular that they are now a symbol of China. Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries. Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down these forests. As the forests get smaller and other human activities cause more problems, pandas cannot find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies. An education program in Chengdu teaches children about pandas and other endangered wild animals. They send people to schools to tell children about the importance of saving these animals. And the Chinese government is trying hard to help save the pandas. Scientists are doing research to better understand the habits of pandas. We all hope that in the future there will be a lot more pandas. At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry. 英语中， awake 常用于 be, stay, keep, lie 之后， 作表语；但也可与 shake 等动词搭配，表 “ 某人摇醒他人 ”等： 你得把她给摇醒。 You would have to shake her awake. Language points 注意： awake 不用于名词之前，因此用作定语时要后置。 她是最后一个醒着的人。 She was the last person awake . 他是当时唯一醒着的男孩。 He was the only one boy awake at that time. 另外， awake 不与 very 搭配使用，表示“ 完全醒来；十分清醒 ”用 fully awake ， wide awake 。如： 等我们到达我的住所时，他已经完全清醒过来了。 He was wide awake by the time we reached my flat. 她站起身，但还没有完全清醒。 She rose, still not quite fully awake . 2. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. 1) 10 kilos of bamboo 意为“ 10 公斤竹子”，该结构是不可数名词量的表达法，其结构为“ 数词 + 单位名词 +of+ 名词 ”。单位名词可以是单数，也可以是复数。 2) spend … (in) doing sth. 意为“ 花费 …… 做某事”。 They spent two years (in) building this bridge. 造这座桥花了他们两年时间。 课时总结 be / stay / keep / lie + awake shake sb. awake awake 作定语时要后置。 fully awake / wide awake 完全醒来；十分清醒 数词 + 单位名词 +of+ 名词 spend … (in) doing sth. 花费 …… 做某事 Summary English-Chinese bamboo, keeper, illness, artwork, government, whale, oil, protection Chinese-English 濒危的；研究；醒着；激动；走路时撞着；绊倒；遗留的；大约；野生的；巨大的 Dictation What is Lin Wei’s job?
